Ena Get Entry

Get entry information from ENA by accession number. Supports EMBL/GenBank accessions only (e.g., U00096, AJ312385, M15390). Does NOT support RefSeq accessions (NC_*, NM_*, NP_* prefixes). Currently extracts metadata from FASTA header. For comprehensive metadata including project, sample, taxon, publications, and sequence length, use ena_get_entry_summary instead. Returns sequence header information with basic metadata.
